@Tony-Seaback, I replied to you here, but basically I broke the background service. I just need to upgrade the node version and update the agent. I'll do that today. Stay tuned.

https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/3227/background-agent-commands-not-syncing-or-service-not-starting-please-assist-please-thank-you

EDIT: Please upgrade to version 1.0.46. It should fix the windows background service. Sorry about the bug.

@Tony-Seaback, I see the problem. I broke the background service in this latest version 1.0.45. I'll produce a new version today and get back to you.

EDIT: Please upgrade to version 1.0.46. It should fix the windows background service. Sorry about the bug.

@atroguer
Yes if you setup a autohotkey and use the spy to get the x and y mouse coordinates u can

In TriggerCMD gui
“C:(path to autohotkey)” -play “C:(path to autohotkey script)”

Use ChatGPT, to help you make the autohotkey script

On desktop make a txt document
Copy and paste AHK script from CHATGPT to document
Save as
MyScript.ahk
File Type. ALL

Awesome @Santiago. Thanks for letting me know. Sorry about the trouble.

@Abel-Boby, do you see a list of voice commands on this page?

You should have one voice command for each of your triggercmd commands that has a voice word, but only if the computer is your default computer or it has a voice word assigned to it. You can set your default computer on your profile page.

In other words, these are the requirements for creating virtual devices in Google Home for your commands:

Each command must have a voice word. Each computer must have a voice word, or it must be your default computer.

@steef-van-der-Poel If you want to run a .jar executable, you need to run it using java. This is best done with a batch script like the following file:

Batch Script (launch.bat) cd C:\Users\steef\Desktop\minecraftServer java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.21.4.jar > log.txt 2>&1

Your TriggerCMD command would have to be executing the .bat file

Something like this would work, the command comes from Minecraft's site:

@Hugoboss, sorry, I missed your original post so I'm glad you followed up.

For the 2 examples that won't run in the triggercmd agent, you said they won't run now, but they ran fine yesterday. Did you upgrade the agent between when they ran and when they didn't?

Do they run fine if you run them manually from a cmd prompt?

Please try putting this one in a .bat script like this, and run the .bat script as your command instead:

cd /d "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\UiPath\Studio" UiRobot.exe execute --process "Discord.Join.Server"

Please test the .bat script manually too.

Also could you share the contents of this script, and the output when you run it manually?

"C:\Applications\UiPath\Robot\Starta Spel\Starta Spel\Start Game.bat"

@Matheus-de-Souza, it's showing "Command ran with error code 1" because your command is failing. Commands return error code 0 when they succeed.

To troubleshoot, it would help to get the output of your command. You should be able to see the error if you run it manually from a cmd prompt.

To open a cmd prompt, you can hold the Windows key and press R, then type cmd and press enter.

If the command runs fine in the cmd prompt but it fails when you run it with the TRIGGERcmd agent, you should copy/paste your command into a .bat file and redirect the command's output to a log file, and change your triggercmd command to run the .bat file. That way you can look in the log file to see the error.

For example, you could create a script.bat file with these contents:

yourcommand > c:\logs\script.log 2>&1

This part is to make stderr output go into your log, not just stdout: 2>&1

Notice I put the log file in a c:\logs directory. You'll need to create that directory first. Windows won't let you write to a file in c:\ by default.

@Russ

THANKS! Looks like that will work for me (but I bet you knew that 🙂 )!

@Rob-Turing, I don't know. I use Windows Defender and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

@Greg-Larsen Correct. They are optional should someone want to just use the triggercmd site to set off their actions but absolutely needed for Alexa/Google integration. 👍🏻

@Greg-Larsen If you want to add hardware, a $5 smart plug (Aliexpress) would do the job of your $25 (+hub) suggestion. Set the BIOS to turn on when power is provided and you're done.

I have my three monitors on one smart plug so when I say Good Morning to Alexa, she fires them up. I don't really need WoL so pressing the button is fine with me.

@Caio-Kenup I solved this problem including ^ just before &. So, as an example, I changed

start www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&autoplay=1

to

start www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ^&autoplay=1

I believe that it will works to everybody that has a URL with character "&"

@tommy0981 El token te lo ponen en rojo en la pagina de instrucciones, en la esquina izquierda superior, es una serie de numeros largos

@tigor, great. I'm glad it's working.

@davidcook, let's focus on making commands sync with your Raspberry Pi first.

Did you use these instructions when you setup your Raspberry Pi?

If you install the background service with this command:

/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

... it runs as root, and reads /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json, and it will only sync your background commands (ground = background) not foreground commands.

If you're editing your /home/pi/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json that could be the problem.

Please show me the output of this command: systemctl status triggercmdagent
I'd like to confirm it's running.

Also, do you see the your Raspberry Pi listed on your "Your Computers" page? If not, maybe it didn't create a computer because you're not subscribed. You can only have one computer if you're not subscribed.

@Gustavo-Rios, you can't run any commands on a computer that's suspended because it's not connected to the Internet.

You might be able to wake it up from a separate computer on your network though.

Thanks @tigor

@jett, no there's no lag - the changes should show up immediately. I think you're running the foreground agent, so make sure your commands are foreground commands. They'll disapear if you make them background commands and you're not running the background agent.

Thanks for telling me about the Google Sign-in button not working on that phone. I just tried it on mine and it worked. I'll research that phone, but in the meantime, did you get it logged in using one of the other methods like a password or a pair code?

@Adroit-Tester2, the background agent on Windows is meant to run commands that don't do anything with the GUI, like this reboot command:

shutdown /r /t 1

One benefit is the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service runs before you login, so you could reboot the PC even if it's not logged in.

Background commands run in the context of the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service that runs as Local System, which can be of benefit too because it has full access to your PC and it bypasses UAC.

Here's a test command you use try in background mode to verify it's working:

echo testing > c:\folder\log.txt

I just tried that and it produced the log.txt file when I ran it in background mode.

If you want to see the processes run, I suggest you leave them in foreground mode. You could still lock the PC after logging it on if you don't want the developers to mess with them.
